Claustrophobia

I cannot sleep. Her smile keeps finding its way into my thoughts. The butterflies in my stomach have turned to dragons of anxiety. Is this even legal? That kiss has made me overthink like never before.
I take my phone off charge and text her on Facebook messenger.

Hi! Are you still up?
Avni?!? What are you doing awake?
I couldn't sleep. What are you doing up this late?
Haha ;) I'm an adult, sweetie. I need lesser sleep than you do.
It's 4 in the morning. Don't tell me you need only 3 hours of sleep, school starts at 7.
Okay, you got me. I have insomnia.
Oh. I'm sorry to hear that. Sleep is precious. ;)
Lol :)
Raya ma'am?
Yes, love?
How is your everyday eyeliner so perfect? Is there a skill to it? Or just practice?
Lol.
You will also be able to do it someday.
It's easy.
Anyway, go to sleep, love. You have a long day tomorrow.
So do you. Anyway, sweet dreams, Raya ma'am.
Sweet dreams, love.

I smile to myself. I feel so much calmer now.

I guess I'll sleep now.
